New JOTW

That's Joke of the Week, for all of you acronymically challenged readers out there.

One day Mrs. Jones went to have a talk with the minister at the local

church.

"Reverend," she said, "I have a problem. My husband keeps falling asleep

during your sermons. It's very embarrassing. What should I do?"

"I have an idea," said the minister, "Take this hatpin with you. I will be

able to tell when Mr. Jones is sleeping, and I will motion to you at those times. When I motion, you give him a good poke in the leg."

In church the following Sunday, Mr. Jones dozed off. Noticing this, the

preacher put his plan to work.

"And who made the ultimate sacrifice for you?" he said, nodding to Mrs.

Jones.

"Jesus!" Jones cried as his wife assualted his leg with the hat pin.

"Yes, you are right, Mr. Jones," said the minister. Soon, Mr. Jones nodded

off again. Again, the minister noticed.

"Who is your redeemer?" he asked the congregation, motioning towards

Mrs. Jones.

"God!" Mr. Jones cried out as he was stuck again with the hatpin.

"Right again," said the minister, smiling. Before long, Mr. Jones again

winked off. However, this time the minister did not notice. As he picked up the tempo of his sermon, he made a few motions that Mrs. Jones misinterpreted as signals to bayonet her husband with the hatpin.

The minister asked, "And what did Eve say to Adam after she bore him his

99th son?"

Mrs. Jones took the opportunity to poke her husband, who yelled, "You

stick that goddamned thing in me one more time and I'll break it in half and shove it up your ass!"

"Amen," replied the congregation.
